The Kidney Blues
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped urinary organs in the dorsal part of the abdomen, one on each side of the vertebral column. Each kidney is about 11 cm long, 6 cm wide, and 2.5 cm thick. In men, each kidney weighs from 125 to 170 g; in women, each kidney weighs from 115 to 155 g.
The kidneys produce and eliminate urine through a complex filtration network and reabsorption system comprising more than 2 million nephrons. The nephrons are composed of glomeruli and renal tubules that filter blood under high pressure, removing urea, salts, and other soluble wastes from blood plasma and returning the purified filtrate to the blood. More than 2500 pints of blood pass through the kidneys every day, entering the kidneys through the renal arteries and leaving through the renal veins. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys about 20 times every hour but only about one fifth of the plasma is filtered by the nephrons during that period. The kidneys remove water as urine and return water that has been filtered to the blood plasma, thus helping to maintain the water balance of the body.
Hormones, especially the antidiuretic hormone (ADH), produced by the pituitary gland, control the function of the kidneys in regulating the water content of the body.
Today, due to Western living and eating habits, the kidneys are under attack and singing the blues. Our diets are too acidic or acid-forming, and thus taxes the whole body constitution, mainly the kidneys. The by-products of what we eat, which I really can’t call food, so I’ll say food-like stuff, break down to harmful acids that end up in the kidneys (as well as the other organs via the blood stream). For example, meat (dead decayed animal flesh) products (i.e. shit-ken, oops, I mean ‘chicken’, turkey, pork, beef, fish, lamb, etc.) converts into uric acid; dairy (liquid meat) products convert into lactic acid; and starches convert into carbonic acid. These acids cause obstruction throughout the body. They erode and corrode the insular wiring of the nerves (myelin sheath) causing a host of neurological pathologies such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, and atrophy of the brain. They collect in deposit areas of the body, mainly the joints and tendons and cause inflammation (-it is, in Latin, an English suffix), i.e. arthritis, tendonitis, etc. But they ultimately collect and store in the kidneys, eroding and corroding the kidneys and resulting in nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) and kidney disease. The biggest cause of kidney disease is eating meat and drinking acidic beverages, i.e. soda pop, beer, wine, coffee and hot cocoa. Soda pop, by far, is the most harmful of all these acid-forming beverages. The pH of one soda pop is 2 (considering the body’s natural pH level is 7.3). This is too acidic! You would have to drink thirty two (32) 12 ounce glasses of alkaline water to neutralize the effect of one can of soda. Think about this, and think hard!
Drinking coffee is right behind soda pop. Remember, sitting above the kidneys are organs called the adrenal glands. These are very important hormone-releasing glands. Coffee destroys (kills) them.
Beer, one of American’s favorite beverages, is one of the kidneys deadliest enemies. First of all, you’d have to be an outright fool to drink this stuff. There is no nutritional purpose for drinking this stuff. Not only does it corrode brain cells, but it greatly acidifies the kidneys, weakening them beyond the point of normal functioning.
Kidney disease is a major occurrence in diabetes. Most diabetics have kidney problems. Their kidneys do not work, hence the need for kidney dialysis (blood cleansing). This is a goddamn shame! To be dependent on a man-made machine to do a function that God created the kidneys to perform naturally, because of modern man’s insanity (of eating and drinking the most asinine and ridiculous things a person could think of) under the notion of liberation and civilization. Yeah, right! Modern man (male and female), or the Western civilized modern man, is a damn fool! And the diseases that plague modern Western man bear witness to this, in spite of all the so-called advancements in technology and medicine, the college degrees and credentials, and an ever increasing faith In a God most of us have no knowledge of. Western man is pathetically lost.
Eskimos, raw meat eaters by nature, used to live to be an average of eighty years old (mind you, on a high protein meat-based diet), until the white man (Americans) developed the airplane and began to drop off crates full of processed foods, especially precooked meats (T.V. dinners). Nearly seventy years later, Eskimos have the shortest natural life span of any people on earth, dying by the age of 45 and most commonly from kidney disease; the result of eating Western food, mainly processed and cooked meats.
Our dear sister and actress Esther Rolle (of Good Times fame) died a couple of years ago from kidney disease. She was a devout Christian and stood for a lot of important causes in society, an admirable thing to say the least; however, she lacked wisdom, understanding and knowledge about the most important aspect of life for modern day people – proper health and nutrition (what to eat). Her faith in Christ could not help her kidney disease, and as a result, she died because one of her God-given organs (kidneys) could not function anymore. Truly a sad and unfortunate thing! As Hosea the Prophet said, “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6.
The kidneys, along with the colon, lungs, liver, and skin are organs of elimination. When these organs are degenerative, disease or pathology is the result. In order to regenerate these organs, we must cleanse these organs periodically (at least once a year, but four times a year ideally).
Many people who have water retention problems have kidney problems. Many people who have baggy eyes or rings around the eyes, have kidney problems. Diabetics have kidney problems. Kidney problems are common in the U.S.
Many people do not know it, but osteoporosis is caused by kidney problems. Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by calcium loss of the bones, resulting in weak and brittle bones that break easily. It is very indicative of white women (who drink a lot of milk [cow snot], coffee, and diet soft drink beverages). The kidneys become so acid due to drinking the items supra (above), that the body’s intelligence steals calcium (the most alkaline mineral) from the bones and skeletal structure (the greatest supply of calcium in the body) and sends it downs to the kidneys to give the kidneys some base or balance to neutralize the acid. If this was not the case, then plenty of people who suffer from osteoporosis would die from kidney disease (acidosis of the kidneys).
Fasting, improved diet (of a vegan nature), drinking plenty of alkaline water and herbal consumption are the best things to correct (heal or cure) kidney problems.
Drinking plenty of alkaline water (Essentia, Penta-Hydrate, etc.) will greatly help to neutralize the acid state of the kidneys. Plus, water flushes out the kidneys removing impurities.
Effective herbs to take for the kidneys are herbs that are considered ‘diuretic.’ A diuretic is a substance that increases the discharge of urine. These herbs include Juniper berries, Cornsilk, Buchu, Pelitory of the Wall, Gravel root (Queen of the Meadow), Hydrangea, Parsley, Couchgrass, Asparagus, Devil’s Claw, Pipsissewa, Uva Ursi, Cranberry, Cleavers, and Water Eryngo.
Cranberry juice (undiluted and unsweetened) should be drunken periodically to keep the urinary tract clean and free from bacteria. I recommend cranberry juice and certain kidney herbs for STD-related inflammation of the genitals that especially burn when urinating. The kidneys are part of the urinary-genital system.
www.DHERBS.com offers a Kidneys, Bladder & Adrenal Formula that includes all of the mentioned or listed herbs above.
Drinking parsley, celery and asparagus juice is great for the kidneys. This is a powerful cocktail and wards of kidney problems. These vegetables are diuretic in nature and function. This is one of my favorite vege cocktails.
In closing, by all means and at all costs, avoid synthetic pharmaceutical-grade diuretic drugs. They tax and ultimately kill the kidneys. Long term consumption of these drugs will make you a candidate and victim of kidney dialysis. Dialysis does not help the kidneys. It weakens the kidneys. Your body is naturally programmed to cleanse itself, including your kidneys. Dialysis brings in big bucks ($$$). What’s really sad is the fact that 90% of all dialysis patients are black people or African-American. Herbs, vegetable juice, and alkaline water are a great alternative to kidney dialysis that is 100% safe, sane and effective. www.DHERBS.com offers the best kidney formula (Uro-Genito)! Give it a try!
